I don’t know where else to put this so I’ll do it here.
This guy on another forum I used to frequent, is so deluded. He thinks the CMC getting their marks was the worst thing to happen to the show. Here, I’ll quote a post.
“You’re wrong. I will always hate the CMC cutie marks no matter what, because they should’ve just disband by now. By stopping being friends of course. And the point is: A cutie mark DOES change anypony at all. And FYI, they’re being manipulated or brainwashed by their cutie marks by telling them what to do!”
